One Half Down, One Half To Go!!!!

Today is the first day of my Junior year at North Carolina State University (GO PACK!) It absolutely amazes me to think about the past two year. The journey of my college career has been incredibly amazing thus far. I know I have grown as a person, leader, friend and woman of God through great mentors and also obstacles that have come my way.

I have worked at Walt Disney World, interned with United Way, hosted at 42nd street oyster bar, sold wedding dresses at Louisas Bridal, nanny and tutored Anthony, and been unemployed. I have changed my major once, my concentration twice, added a minor, and been undecided. I have moved to two different dorm rooms, two different houses, and two different apartments. I have meet friends, lost friends, and become a friend to so many people. I have been discouraged, been uplifted, and have had a million melt downs.

Now its time for the second half of a amazing adventure. I am ready to take advantage of my opportunity and strive to be better than I have before. I have recently been feeling especially called to the mission field. I will be going to Africa in December and am strongly considering a life long career in ministry. God is just so great!

I don't have to wait two years to join the mission field.... college is the ultimate mission field. I am sooo excited to outreach to the Wolfpack community with the help of God.

Last night me and my absolutely wonderful roommates prayed that God give us boldness to share the gospel and that He give us opportunities to use that boldness. We together are so excited to encourage each other through this not so easy task we are getting ourselves into.

This semester I am taking a world religion class taught by a man who is not a christian. PRAY FOR ME! I am sooo excited to learn about other peoples believes. I am also taking a Western African History Class. I can't WAITTTT to apply what I learn in Liberia in December. 

Here is a piece of my heart in words. Praying this is a encouragement to at least one person! 

"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever wins souls is wise." -Proverbs 11:30 JOIN ME IN ATTEMPTING TO BE WISE!

I am Resting Resting

I have always loved this song, but tonight it really touched me. I am not going to analyze it or commentate it because it can mean so many different things. Listen to it with a open heart and see if it touches you also....

Jesus I am resting, resting
In the Joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
Of Thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee,
And Thy beauty fills my soul,
For by Thy transforming power
Thou hast made me whole.

####Chorus:

Jesus, I am resting, resting
In the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
Of Thy loving heart.

O how great Thy loving kindness.
Vaster, broader than the sea!
O how marvellous Thy goodness,
Lavished all on me!
Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved,
Know Thy certainty of promise,
And have made it mine.

####

Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
I behold Thee as Thou art,
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless,
Satisfies my heart;
Satisfies its deepest longings,
Meets supplies its every need,
Compasseth me round with blessings;
Thine is love indeed!

####

Ever lift Thy face upon me,
As I work and wait for Thee;
Resting 'neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus,
Earth's dark shadows flee.
Brightness of my Father's glory,
Sunshine of my Father's face,
Keep me ever trusting, resting;
Fill me with Thy grace.
